Ingredients

• 6 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Fresh cranberries
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss well to coat the fruit evenly.

Step 3

Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, and salt. Stir to mix.

Step 5

Add the unsweetened applesauce and melted butter to the oat mixture. Mix until the topping becomes crumbly and slightly moist.

Step 6

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, covering the fruit completely.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as is or with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a small scoop of light vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
